Is Donny A Jack***?

[MexicoHusky]

I'm curious what others think. I mean, I know the answer is yes.... sorta. I guess I'm wondering if he is for real. Not just in a playful or fun loving sense.

He seems to hover right around the boundary. Crosses the line for a moment. Then comes back. The place I notice it the most is how he treats his broadcast partner. He obviously likes to joke around and that's cool. But he hovers around being not funny or maybe just a tad too rude to his partner. Not a ton today. It's just something I've sensed at times.

Maybe I'm being too harsh. I still love the guy.

Also, in the past some have commented on his impartiality. I have zero issue with Donny not being a UCONN homer. It's his job to be impartial and he's devoted 4 years to us. He paid in full. Owes us nothing.

I was going to say cancel the Uber ride but I didn't want to feed the troll.

Give me Gus Johnson, Raff, Eric Collins, Donny, Shulman, Sean McDonough, anytime. I can't listen to Bill Walton for even 30 sec.

Donny was real good today!

Kudos to @NDakotaHusky on being a good sport. Remember folks, Boneyard crucifixions are always in good fun.

I actually feel the Boneyard has gotten nicer in it's old age.

Why does it seem like there's a thread about Donny every time he calls a UConn game??? Why is everything he says or does so under the microscope and criticized?? I don't understand.

Because he's on television and he's not particularly good at it

[Magruber]

Man. How many horrible thread titles can one dummy produce?

That's harsh bro.

 

[willie99]

No, I love the guy and I love him doing games. Although he's no Tommy Heinsohn

He represents the program well

He occasionally tries a little too hard to NOT be a homer, but he's fine.

Compare him with, say, Dan Dakich. He might be a zillion times better.

 

[Scoe]

No way Donny is the man, hell I wish he lit that cigar and smoked it on the air.

 

[Huskybass]

I think Donny does a real good job, never understood all the Boneyard scrutiny. The guy is very bright, articulate, and presents himself real well.

Plus, there's also Pam Webber.

When Walton is working, I find a rerun of Two and 1/2 Men, with Charlie of course

[Hey Adrien!]

The Tim Brando/Donny Marshall duo is excellent!

Whatever @NDakotaHusky perceives, to me, shows not only how much fun the two have together but also how much reverence Donny has for Brando. There's a love between those two and Brando definitely has a good time with Marshall and vice versa.

Heck, in a world where Donny would be our only color commenter, I'd totally sign up for that.

 

[temery]

Who is Donny?

 

[freescooter]

I don’t think he’s a jackass really. But honestly I don’t think he is a very good analyst. Talks too much, too much “inside” talk, and he isn’t really that funny, and he gets in the way of his partner trying to the game. And the next time he points out something subtle that is important will be the first.
